DearAnyuta,

YesterdayI received your letter with a postscript from
dear Mother. Manyasha and all of us were awfully glad.
Manyasha was more lively today and went out walking with
Mark—today ismardi
gras,[2]and the French are on the
rampage. Give Mother many kisses from me and from all of
us—we all fervently hope that she will now get better
without any setbacks.

TodayI received the proofs of signatures 8 and 9 (pp.
113–144) already made up into pages and was very pleased
to see that there are no gaps and no mixed galleys (which
I wrote about last timebefore I had seenthe proofs of the
made-up pages; by the way, you send the packages without
any string, and single pages and even whole signatures
may easily fall out).

Theproofs of these two signatures are, on the whole,
quite good, and that gives me great pleasure. I still cannot
risk withdrawing my request to give the proofs to a
professional proof-reader (about which I wrote in the last letter),
because I am afraid you will find it difficult to devote time
to such boring work during Mother’s illness and to
concentrate your attention on it.

Iam sending the corrections to the page proofs of
signatures 8 and 9 (pp. 113–144). When they begin to print the
signatures, please send them to me from the first, so thatI can draw up a list of misprints that must be pointed out,
even if only on a sheet pasted separately into the book.

Allthe best, and kiss Mother once more.

Yours,V. Ulyanov[1]

[2]G.M. Krzhizhanovsky,  V. V. Starkov, Y. O. Zederbaum and
A. A. Vaneyev were held in Krasnoyarsk prison from April 4 to
April 23, 1897, because they were on their way to exile at the
cost of the state. An order of the Governor of Yeniseisk dated
April 10 appointed the village of Tesinskoye in Minusinsk District
as the  place of exile of Starkov and Krzhizhanovsky; they left
for Minusinsk with Lenin at their own expense on board the
steamerSvyatoi Nikolaion April 30.
